That's an instant click thumbnail for anyone who 🛹 in Dec '24. Haven't seen a push for 🛹 trucks like this since Ace Classics came out & then again w/AF1. Won't get another set of Ventures ever!

Thanks for the tips, I’ll give it a try. Ive been struggling with popped backside big spins for the longest time and have been trying everything.

Lol

Looks great!

I run clipless on my commuter and even my commuter ebike. I have Crank Bros. Double-Shots with a flat side and a clipped side. I just feel like I get a more efficient pedal stroke when I'm clipped in. I have a pair of Adidas Velo Sambas and Giro Privateers, but if I just want to go in flats I can still ride my commuters. I am used to being clipped in however, being a roadie.

You do not get any extra power from clipless pedals. Its very obvious if you have a power meter. The benefit is that they keep your foot in place.

Always unclip both at the same time. Hehe

is clip pedal not clipless wtf bro... im not england and i know

Interesting that you said that about the deck being a little stiffer. I noticed the same thing when I skated a Chocolate board. It might be because decks made in China are supposedly made the old way (heat pressed) as opposed to boards made in US/Canada/Mexico which are mostly cold pressed. I also skated a made in China Mini Logo and it felt very similar to the Chocolate. Nice pop on both and as you said felt like they would last. Only downside is they definitely look thicker and feel heavier.

For those afraid of not being able to unclip fast-just go for the SM-SH56 SPD Multi-Release Cleat-a total game changer

Spd pedals are good for your knees,for long distance,but in the traffic and among people they are dangerous,you gotta be fast as snake,or Bruce Lee!

Bike looks sweet

You need one of those hovding single-use airbag helmets 😭😭😭 was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen, but their ads/clips were pure gold.

Shimano makes good stuff

Woot!

Are those ventures?

Cool song and clean skating

Wow imaging getting flattened by a trashcan😅

Dad board falling for the tactics link thing is hilarious lol he also said “dragon cult checking in” on one of Ben’s videos when they first came out then 2 months later was saying how they suck and he will never buy them again

Nice clip though!

8.18, 14wb Girl 147 thunders 52mm bones x99 Jessup Bronson Raw… setup suites my 5’8” Mexican person, skate ledges n flatground mostly

Sorry for your loss Kevin.

Sorry about your loss

For me, it would be a 8.5 fa board, ace 55 trucks and hardware, mob grip tape, Bronson raw bearings and spit fire conical full 56 mm 😊

..like everyone else - real sorry for your loss. losing a pet/friend.. it's brutal. ok.. as far as set ups go. could not be happier right now. still on my tired 8.25 board (love that thing). ..mostly doing the mellow transition at my local skatepark. and some concrete flat ground there too. running thunder standard trucks (am into them, work great for me anyway) with some krooked risers to bring the height up a little bit. and spitfire f4 54 conical fulls 99a (doing great on those). and some thunder bolts, and jessup grip. oh and some bronson g3s. wouldn't change anything. maybe some of those radial 93s in future (think they'd be good for d.i.ys), and wouldn't mind giving mob a try in the future too. but that's about it really.

Not a venture dude but I really like the kingpin housing into the truck

33 y/o here. been skating for 21 years now and basically have ridden the same set up since i was 18. my current set up is my perfect set up. 8.0 Chocolate Venture V8s. i set them to have my WB be 14" Spitfire 99s 50mm bronsons G3s Bronze 7/8 allen key pepper grip bones hard bushings My skating is a bit of everything. i like to flip my board alot and jump down little stuff. i also really like rails.

Is that a twin tail setup

Rest In Peace, Winston❤️. I ride a 8.5x 31.68 with a 14” wheelbase from Santa Cruz. I’m 48 years young and like power sliding and kick flips. Keep on pedaling!

Look like if gerard way was hispanic

So sorry to hear about your cat. We lost our beloved dog at the end of October. The energy hasn’t been the same in our house and he was my best friends as well. A quote that has been helping me is “it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all”. For your setup question, still trying to dial it in. Just went back to a smaller board that’s: 8.5 grimple stix 14.25 wheelbase 54 bones formula x97 Indy 149 Bone swiss

sorry about your cat. cats are the best! I ride a 8.25 as well april now. anything with 14 wb ... 147 thunders, I cant do the 8.25 trucks. super loose 52 spitfire any wheels is fine mob grip bones reds diamond bolts I mainly do flat ground, ledge, small stairs , etc. haha

8.25 Anti Hero Eagle Deck(Gray) Jessup Grip 8.25 Slappy Trucks 54m Dragons, Bones Red's Shields off. Bang....🔥

Sorry about your loss my friend! I lost my cat unexpectedly in February and I’m still reeling from the blow. Thanks so much for the content!

Sci-fi symmetrical 8.25, ace 8.5 trucks, spitfire classics 54mm, reds bearings, mob grip, lil jawns rails. Skate mostly curbs and ledges

Current set up: 8.5 Blood Wizard, 14.25 wheelbase, Ace 8.5 Trucks with hard bushings, Spitfire FF 99a 53mm. Bronson bearings

I'm sorry about Winston man. 21 years is a good run, you definitely did good by him. Loss is so hard, we lost our cat and 2 dogs a while back and it's still tough on me. He will always be with you and you will always be with him. Take your time healing dude, it can't be rushed. Hope you don't feel any pressure to put out these videos (financial or otherwise), we will be here. Take all the time you need. Deck = Santa Cruz/Creature VX decks, 8.5 with 14" wb (but they also have a 8.8 with a 14.25 wb which I love and switch up to from time to time). I'm on Santa Cruz cause they have a fairly steep kick which I like and the VX last me around twice as long... I start feeling bad about waistin wood when i'm ripping through pure 7 ply maple. I tried Powell flights but the kick seemed too mellow for me personally. Trucks = Venture v-light highs (unless I'm on that 8.8 deck I mentioned then its Indys standard). Wheels = Bones x formula 99a 54mm Grip = Mob, though I'm thinking of switching that up. I mostly skate ledge/slappy stuff but I love stairs and gaps. Though these days I don't hit the stair sets like I used to, I have kids now and mostly skate out alone so I try and hold off on hitting big things when I'm by myself, too risky with family that needs me. Peace and love man!

Bro so sorry for your loss, I went through the same with my dog a few years back, it broke my heart. I recently got a new kitten and couldn’t be happier,your next best friend is out there somewhere brother

My heart goes to you bro❤ peace and love to your boy Winston🙏

Sorry about your cat man-I lost my first cat unexpectedly a few years ago and it was awful. After a lot of trial and error, I’ve found my perfect setup for the foreseeable future as someone who’s still learning but primarily skates ledges/parks. 8.5” Quasi with a 14.5” WB - PS Stix boards are super mellow so the set up feels light despite the longer WB. The wheelbase helps give me more board to push against and land on since I’m a bit taller. I went through a lot of board shapes to land here. Went with a shorter WB after i tore my meniscus on my pooping foot, but ended up losing confidence in ledge skating even though flip tricks moved easier. Decided I’d rather have a confident ollie than an easier kickflip. Independent forged hollows 149s - shorter and lighter than standard Indy trucks. Bones x99 sidecut shape 53 mm - great all around wheel. It’s not as square as a conical but gives me a bit more riding surface. I’ve debating going to a standard or radial shape to give a lighter pop and easier time getting into a slappy, but the v5 does a good job and I’m afraid to get rid of a good thing. Bolts and bearings are whatever. Usually independent hardware and bones reds.

yo im riding a Enjoi pilz 9.13 egg shaped deck with formula 4 conicals 53mm and slappy trucks

So sorry for your loss and all the best going forwards. Losing a family member is very hard. On a positive note you got to spend many years with him. ❤️ As far as setups go my swiss army knife is 8.5" popsicle, Ace 55's and Spitfire 55mm OG Classics. Feels very comfortable from curbs and ledges to transition.

Ishod's Twin Tail 8.25", Indy Trucks, 54mm Dragon Wheels V4, Bones Super Swiss. Been using this for a while, for park, bowl and street. Modus grip tape and bolts. Starting to get very comfortable with it. Note: I still consider myself a beginner. :) Sorry about your loss.

Been skating an 8.5 Brian Anderson reissue from toy machine lately. Been years since I’ve touched a board that big so I decided to try Indy hollows on it (never thought I’d like Indy’s let alone on an 8.5). Good set up tho tbh. Little harder to flip ig but makes locking in on ledges feel much more consistent and comfortable.

Feeling for you man. Going thru something with my dog right now. Hang in there. ❤️

Wow! Your cat had a long life! My wife and I had to put our cat down two weeks ago. It is a hard thing to do, but what can we say, just enjoy your pets while we have them, because they don’t live very long. I hope your recovery goes well. All around skater. 8.38, or 8.5, 149 for now, I’m thinking about jumping up to 159, and 53, or 54, maybe 52. 🫶skating. Prayers for your recovery.

sorry for your loss my brother.. nothing can replace them.

My condolences to you. Sending love and positive energy✨💫 Return In Power Winston ❤ 💫

Sorry about Winston. I'm a guy that loves his cat too. Really don't know what I'd do without her. Share my setup. 8.5 shop deck, mob grip, venture hollow, X97s The local shop decks are always a very chill shape and nothing is cooler to me than just rocking the local shop deck.
